Codebase Onboarding
ericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when you land in an unfamiliar or inherited codebase and must get productive fast: a breadth-first map of entry points, request flow, module ownership, hidden side effects (cron, webhooks, workers) and churn hotspots, committed as CODEBASE-MAP.md. NOT a deep audit of one module (that is `analyze`) or chasing one failure (that is `debug`).
At a glance
This skill is for Coding and helps you map an unfamiliar codebase, understand request flow in inherited code, and identify module entry points.
